Check out the documentary Zero Days (2016) if you haven’t already. That’s not really a tinfoil hat take these days IMO.

Well it's a bad comment, because I'm from the US and didn't downvote. It's also not propaganda.

You’re right, we should just ignore it, it’s probably fine.

Drinking that or getting that into a wound is how you get sick, and my point entirely.

Corpse tea is not good for your health

I'd say there's likely a public health concern with water and dead bodies mixing, at the very least.

Thanks, didn't know about this.

Voyager is one of my favorite apps these days, and a fantastic example of "web apps don't have to suck".

I'm from the US and just upvoted that. Please don't stereotype. I know there's a lot of idiots here, but we're not all stupid.

Flowing robes 100%, literally designed for being in the heat and sun. 35C isn’t even that bad, it’s hotter in Texas.

I’ve been spending a majority of my time on here when I do my “Redditing”. I only visit the old site for niche topics. I spend as little time as possible there, I don’t upvote or downvote anything, and I don’t comment either. It’s read-only for me out of principle. I save all interactions for the fediverse.

I doubt all the communities will rebuild elsewhere, but I’m okay with that. Some fragmentation is necessary. Smaller communities make individual voices louder, and you have less ugly “sidedness”. When humans get into a critical mass IRL they can start to do strange things, I think we see this in social media as well.

Do educate me.

It just seems like a huge waste of energy / resources to remove an existing dam than to remediate it somehow. I didn’t see any mention of if this generated power or how it’d be offset.

Not really an environmental win if this hydro power capacity was replaced by coal.

This is a insane take. We absolutely need hydro power right now. It was the leading source of electricity before coal. More dams, please.

They haven’t. It’s still Twitter in the App Store. The icon/app name on your phone is not what the article is discussing.

Detection and treatment of Lyme is notoriously difficult. Why would you not prefer a preventive solution?

I agree all those are nice things to have, and things I'd want to see in an update. Now how can you sell those features to management? How do these improve the experience for the everyday end user?

I'd say the snapshots feature could be a major selling point. Windows needs a good backup/restore solution.

It just seems like potentially a ton of work to satisfy the needs of "people who think about filesystems", which is an extremely small subset of users. I can see how it might be hard to get the manpower and resources needed to rework the Windows default filesystem.

I really have no clue how much work it takes though, so it's just speculation on my end. I'm just curious; on one hand, I do see where NTFS is way behind, but on the other... who cares? I've somehow made it past 20 years of building WIndows PCs without really caring what filesystem I've used, from 95 all the way to 11.

Genuine question, not being sarcastic.

What’s the benefit to the average end user to modernizing NTFS?

Sure, I love having btrfs on my NAS for all the features it brings, but I’m not a normal person. What significant changes that would affect your average user does NTFS require to modernize it?

I just see it as an “if it’s not broken” type thing. I can’t say I’ve ever given the slightest care about what filesystem my computer was running until I got into NAS/backups, which itself was a good 10 years after I got into building PCs. The way I see it, it doesn’t really matter when I’m reinstalling every few years and have backups elsewhere.
